What a weekend

This weekend went a mile a minute and it was all in all a good time.  Initially I was not looking forward to the weekend but sometimes things work out for you in the end.

1. I had a 2nd mammogram on my right side and everything is AOK!!!
2. The kids spent the afternoon with the in-laws. Normally my parents watch the kids when I have things going on in Cleveland but they are in Alaska for a cruise.  The kids had a good time which they always do and my in-laws took us out for dinner - which was nice.
3. Spent the night at my parents empty home the kids loved it because they were able to watch kids shows on Grandpa's huge HDTV.
4. Altomari family reunion was on Saturday - i dread family reunions.  I think this is because when I was young my mom's family had reunions and I was stuck in the middle.  People were either 5 years older of 5 years younger so I stayed with my immediate family.  It turned out to be fine and the kids had fun
5. Saturday night we went to Bar Symon for dinner.  I love Michael Symon and have eaten at Lola's now Lolita's and had such a great meal and time.  The food at Bar Symon was good and they even had a kids menu.
6. We spent the night in Cleveland and survived a power outage
7. We attended Mass at our old church - Holy Spirit in Avon Lake - prior to our move to Marion.  I have read many people say that church feels like home.  I do not feel that at my church in Marion but the minute we walked in Holy Spirit I felt it.  My oldest son felt it also.  It was unbelievable.  I really miss it up there and even though we weren't part the community (Avon Lake) I knew we belonged at the church.
